"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, written and directed by director Cao Baoping, starring Liu Ye, Zhang Yi, Wang Ziwen and others.
Black The humorous and suspenseful movie "The Murderer" officially started shooting in Caiyunzhinan this morning. "
"The shooting ceremony of He Jiong's first film directorial debut, the youth-themed movie "Gardenia Blooms", was held in Beijing.
The popular A-list youngster Li Yifeng, the young girl Zhang Huiwen, the Tang Dynasty youngster Jiang Jinfu and others participated in the starring role. ”
"Starring more than a dozen powerful actors including Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, Asano Tadanobu, Chung Xintong, Ni Dahong, Yuan Quan, etc.
The large-scale spy suspense movie "The Demise of Romance" was officially completed yesterday evening. Since the filming of the film, it has been kept extremely low-key and confidential..."
Lin Nan crossed her legs and leaned on the sofa to browse entertainment information.
He looked up at the assistants who were busy working in the living room, and then glanced in the direction of Liu Yifei's boudoir on the second floor.
Miss Liu is putting on makeup at the moment, while Liu Xiaoli is giving instructions to her daughter, probably about going to Paris during the film festival.
Lin Nan was mentally prepared for this trip to Berlin. He and Liu Yifei would have a busy schedule.
"Director Lin, we are almost done packing. All the luggage has been put into the trunk." Liu Yifei's assistant reminded.
"Thank you for your hard work. You guys should take a rest first. It's still early, so there's no rush."
Lin Nan nodded in agreement. On this trip, he and Liu Yifei will bring a total of eight assistants and bodyguards, two less than last time, but enough.
As soon as I finished speaking, the mobile phone on the coffee table vibrated.
Putting down the tablet, Lin Nan answered the phone.
"You are really good at timing. If it were one hour later, I might have shut down my phone."
"Because I was not sure about the flight time of Director Lin and Yifei, I just I called as soon as I got to the company. Well, it’s only 8:05 now.”
Yue Jun said with a smile. This time, Hongxingwu was responsible for the air tickets for Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and his party, so he naturally didn't know the flight information.
"Tell me. If you are calling at this time, you must have something serious to do."
"Well, that's right. This morning, Lu Han's agent will bring him to the company for a face-to-face interview.
The other person said that other variety shows are also in contact and have extended invitations. I might as well just give him I brushed it off, eliminated it, my vision was too short-sighted..."
Yue Jun told Lin Nan before that after analysis, the team was more optimistic about artists such as Lu Han and Zhang Yixing.
They have high popularity and a huge fan base. Their positioning is completely different from other regular guests of "Running Man", and their market complementarity is very high.
"Okay, you and the team will figure it out. If, I'm talking about if, if it is confirmed that he will be signed, we will not accept their 'inflated' offer in terms of salary. , make it clear to his agent.”
"Director Lin, I understand. In fact, there are smart people there, and Lu Han has no works. What he is consuming now is just the popularity he accumulated when he was in the boy band. They are more anxious than anyone else. The acting school and the idol school are the most suitable for Lu Han. It’s the latter.”
Yue Jun’s words were full of assurance, and his analysis was quite accurate.
Lin Nan heard it. Yue Jun and the team have basically finalized 50% of the contract. As long as the remuneration is negotiated, Lu Han can almost be cast.
"Do a good job of keeping it secret. At least before the investment is launched next month, no news will leak out. Then, let's give everyone a surprise."
"No problem. That's it. That's it. Best wishes. Director Lin’s trip to Berlin went smoothly and he won the Golden Bear.”
"I hope so."
Just after hanging up the phone, the movement upstairs attracted Lin Nan's attention, and Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli came out.
"Mom, Sissi, it's not even eight-thirty yet, stay at home for a while. We won't leave until nine o'clock."
"The relationship is good, let me lean on you again "In a moment."
Liu Yifei was wearing a khaki casual windbreaker, jeans, and light makeup with bright eyes and white teeth.
She ran to Lin Nan in a few steps, leaned against him, rubbed lazily, found a comfortable position, and then picked up the tablet.
"It's up to you."
Looking at her lazy daughter, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but smile.
…………
At early ten o’clock in the morning, there was a lot of noise outside the Capital Airport.
Many media reporters chase actors and stars who are protected by assistants and staff in order to obtain news materials.
Many tourists came and went with their mobile phones, stopping to take pictures or asking for autographs.
“How many times is this this morning?”
“I forgot. However, Li Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi this morning are not as ‘big’ as her, they are just pretentious!”
< br>"Hey, who is Xu Cairen from the Beijing circle? She also has popular fried chicken on the side. I just don't know how much the copyright of her movie can be sold for in Berlin?"
< br>
"Most likely to be at the bottom! The other Spring Festival movies either feature big-name actors or big directors. Hers? Haha, the leading actor Wu Yifan is not even a professional actor, let alone a talented person. He is just fooling fans... ..."
"Hey... come on... Director Lin..."
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, surrounded by eight people, appeared outside the airport, the already excited media The reporters suddenly became more restless.
Especially Director Lin was pushing one of the big suitcases, and sitting on it was Liu Yifei, whose face was covered in black and super black! This picture is simply stunning!
"Quick, let me down."
Miss Liu stretched her legs and immediately got up from the suitcase. She carried her bag and followed Lin Nan calmly. The playful energy just now disappeared in an instant.
"Director Lin, what are your expectations for being shortlisted for the Berlin Main Competition for the third time?"
"Your question is a bit funny. I can't expect anything better than the first two. Isn’t it worse?" Lin Nan said with a joking smile.
“That’s the Golden Bear?!”
“Which filmmaker shortlisted for the main competition section doesn’t have this goal? It’s hypocritical to say no or to say that nomination means yes. ! ”
Lin Nan's subconscious words slapped many colleagues in the face without saving any face.
Liu Yifei also pulled his sleeve vaguely, but it was too late.
“With Yifei taking the lead, Director Lin will definitely win the Golden Globe Award at this Berlin International Film Festival!”
“No problem, the original Golden Lion Award was given to Yifei Present..."
"Hehe, thank you..."
Miss Liu smiled happily and accepted all the compliments.
Seeing a group of ten people entering the departure hall, the media couldn’t help but sigh:
“These are the two most talkative celebrities today!”
"It's not just today."
"Yes, he is one of the few in the industry, he has never given us any trouble! Of course, the premise is not to engage in crooked ways."
"I think of Director Chen again. He always looks at people with a condescending look... He is not as approachable as his wife..."
...
As 11 o'clock approached, the Internet had already There has been news that many mainland filmmakers, actors and stars are rushing to Berlin, all this morning.
"Li Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming...Xu Jinglei, Wu Yifan...Feng Shaofeng, Fan Bingbing and many other actors and actresses appeared at the airport..."
"The movie "Zhong Kui" "Snow Demon", "Wolf Totem", "There's a Place Only We Know"... The crews of "Army of Heaven", "The Wheel" and other films will appear on the red carpet of the Berlin International Film Festival, and the corresponding films will be screened at the festival. Screenings, promotions, and copyright transactions will be carried out during this period. "Directors Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were interviewed at the airport. The former said bluntly that all the nominees in the main competition are looking forward to the best film award, and there is no need to be too humble or even hypocritical."
“Director Lin Nan’s “Manchester by the Sea” competes in the Berlin International Film Festival’s main competition for the third time, aiming for the Golden Bear Award for Best Film.”
……
"He really dares to say that! Which director in China has never been 'hypocritical'? He has ridiculed them all! It's good to be young."
Han Sanping sat in the yard basking in the sun and watching the news , laughed and cursed.
At this time, Han Jianu stood at the door of the villa and shouted, "Old Han, do you have your phone number?"
"Every day, old Han, old Han, no matter how big or small, sooner or later I I'm so mad at you."
Although "Zuoshandiao" was cursing, there was a loving smile on his face. Who allowed him to have this only daughter in his thirties? This is the only one. ah!
"With your body, can you live a long life? If you are really worried, then it is better to choose a different day... Give me your house in the next few days?"
Han The beautiful woman said with a playful smile that the way father and daughter get along is very "harmonious".
"I, you, you should move out. Or I can find a crew for you and throw it in..."
Hearing this, Han Jianyu instantly turned into a "little cotton-padded jacket".
“Oh, answer the phone quickly. It’s the same group of people, they’re so annoying.”
Hearing what Han Jianu said, Han Sanping’s legs stopped after taking a few steps. , with a look of disgust and disgust on his face: "Tell them I'm not here."
"That's what I said. But?"
"But what?"
"I don't know who it is over there. He said that your performance of 'Mountain Eagle' was very good and you could win an award." Han Jianu spread her hands and smiled carelessly. Lungless.
"Haha, it's really his uncle... Let's go and listen to how they tell jokes."

Since the beginning of April last year , it has been more than 10 months since the launch of "Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield".
For the film industry, this martial arts series, exclusively produced by Lin Nan Films and written by Lin Nan himself, has always been the focus of everyone's attention.
Especially this second part, which took much longer than the first part, making the industry even more curious.
In the afternoon, news of the final release of the second part of the "Xiu Chun Knife" series finally came out.
It’s just that this schedule made the entire film industry stunned;
Almost everyone in the industry unconsciously widened their eyes when they saw the news.
"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, directed and written by Lin Nan, directed by Lu Yang, starring Zhang Zhen, Shu Chang, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Jin Shijie and others.
Ancient costume martial arts series The second part of "Xiuchundao" "Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield" passed the review of the Film Bureau this morning and was issued a release permit. "
"Lin Nan Pictures' official website and official Weibo announced the release date. Enlight Pictures forwarded: The martial arts movie "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield" is scheduled for summer and will be released nationwide on July 3rd. "
This movie news really shocked the film industry.
July 3rd?
This date is simply not too dazzling!
The industry clearly remembers that just a few days ago, director Chen Da's first Republic of China martial arts film "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" was scheduled to be released on July 3rd!
The two martial arts movies are less than half a month apart and are scheduled to be released on the same day.
What is this for? Fighting? Head-to-head competition?
After the shock, the Internet and the industry became extremely lively.
"This is interesting. For the first time, a director in the industry and a film of the same type dare not give Director Chen face and choose to 'fight' head-on!"
"They are all martial arts movies, and they are the same It’s not scary to fight head-on, but it would be too embarrassing if one side loses badly!”
“By the way, is this directed at Director Chen Kaige?”
"Bullshit, why can't "Xiu Chun Dao 2" go to such a big summer festival? Director Chen should be confident, all opponents are paper tigers!"
"Tsk, tsk, but after all these years...it's Chen The director is becoming less and less like a tiger... only the tiger's power of the past is left, without the fangs and claws..."
"It's also a good thing. Two martial arts movies by great directors are placed on the same day, which is also a major promotional selling point! They can complement each other..."
...
"It's Lin Nan's idea. Are you making trouble? Or is Lu Yang just trying to get serious?"
"Chen Kaige is so angry now?"
"Let him show off all day long. When Lin Nan gets an award, he always sounds like a senior and gives advice. Now, Lu Yang is here to do it.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'll suffer a loss whether I win or lose. If he wins, he, the great director of the Palme d'Or, should win; but if he loses, then..."
...
"Producer Chen Hong said: Multiple films of the same type compete with each other, which is conducive to the prosperity of the film market and enriches audience choices..."
"Director Lu Yang updated Weibo: Learn from Director Chen and "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", "Embroidery" "Spring Knife" series still has a lot of room for improvement. I look forward to both movies being successful and carving up the summer director market in July..."
...
Although everything is on track, the fact that "Xiu Chun Knife 2" is scheduled to be released on July 3 still makes Chen Kaige feel a little "bored" and a little angry.
“Whether it’s Lin Nan’s idea or Lu Yang’s, it doesn’t matter. After watching the first part of "Xiu Chun Knife", I don’t think his second part will be that amazing.< br>
I am absolutely sure about "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain". No matter the depth, artistic conception or layout of the movie, it is unmatched by other martial arts movies. "
Chen Kaige is full of wisdom. , the attitude of not caring about the younger generation is very "everyone's style".
Chen Hong held a cup of tea and handed it over with both hands, "That's the truth. In fact, putting two movies together will be good for each other's publicity, right?"
"Well. Lin Nan should have arrived in Berlin, right?"
"Calculating the time, it should be almost there."
Suddenly, Director Chen seemed to think of something unhappy again, I lost my good looks.
As someone who has been my bed partner for many years, Chen Hong can certainly see that everything is because of the awards.
Chen Kaige really needs a second international film festival award, preferably one from the top three in Europe. All it takes is one more Best Picture, or even Best Director trophy, and he will truly be a "master."
The last time, it was almost, that is, "Mei Lanfang" was shortlisted for the main competition section of the Berlin International Film Festival 6 years ago, but the final result was nothing.
Berlin time, early 12 noon.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei’s flight landed slowly at Berlin Airport.
At this time, the atmosphere of the Berlin International Film Festival is already very strong.
Filmmakers, crews, and media from all over the world are gathering here continuously.
There is even a motorcade of the Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee standing guard outside the airport, specially designed to pick up certain specially invited filmmakers and go to the designated hotel.
